The primary categories include:General interest, Polymers and plastics, and Rubber. By selecting one of these categories, the second level of choices appears. For example, in Polymers and plastics, the second level choices include: Additives, Applications, Chemical characterization, Chemistry (polymer types), Environment protection, Health & safety, Formulations, Modeling & computation, Properties, Processing methods, Recycling, Structural materials, and Testing methods. Selection of the second level choice gives many third level choices, including 85 different groups of publications on a particular subject.

Yuri S. Lipatov, 1995, ISBN 1-895198-08-9The main topics of this book are fillers, their interface with polymers, composites, blends, and alloys. Treatment of the subject is fundamental based on principles of surface phenomena, physico-chemical theory of filling, theory of adsorption, surface adhesion, etc

D C Wright, 1996, ISBN 978-1-85957-064-7In this report, Dr. Wright aims to explain both the causes of environmental stress cracking (ESC) and its implications. ESC is the premature initiation of cracking and embrittlement of a plastic due to the simultaneous action of stress and strain and contact with specific fluids.

D.M. Brewis and I. Mathieson, Loughborough University, 2002, ISBN 978-1-85957-323-5This overview is written by two of the most prominent researchers in this field. It is clearly written and will be of use to those in industry and academia who are working on adhesion and bonding to polyolefins, both in practical situations and in the laboratory.

Christopher D. Anderson and Eric S. Daniels, 2003, ISBN 978-1-85957-381-5The technology and science of emulsion polymerization are described clearly and succinctly in this review from two authors who are at the forefront of latex research and development. The text is referenced extensively to permit further reading on this subject.

B.G. Willoughby, 2003, ISBN 978-1-85957-374-7There are many chemicals in use in the rubber and plastics industries from the monomers polymerised to form plastics and rubbers, to the additives used to enhance the polymer properties. In addition, other potentially hazardous substances are formed by reactions between these base chemicals and with air. The formation of suspected carcinogenic nitrosamine compounds by some rubber formulations is a case in point. This book examines the types of chemicals found in the polymer industry and the potential hazards. It goes on to explain the common chemical reactions of concern to health and safety. Monitoring methods are described in some detail together with their limitations. This is essentially a practical book giving a background to the chemistry of the polymer industry and chemical monitoring methods. It will be of use to workers and managers across the industry in explaining what should be done and why. It will be of particular interest to occupational health and environmental monitoring specialists.

Conference, 2001, ISBN 978-1-85957-276-4This international two-day conference is now firmly established as Europe's premier meeting place for the thermoplastic elastomers sector. The last two events brought together more than 200 key players involved in all stages of the TPE supply chain.

Prof. Dr. Behnam Pourdeyhimi, 1999, ISBN 1-884207-81-2This book is of interest for all functions in research, development, new product implementation, production, product engineering in industries which process polymers and plastics.
